A new trial investigating high-normal serum potassium levels for people at high risk of ventricular arrhythmias delivered promising results. Compared to a control group, people with these elevated ...

For people at elevated risk of ventricular arrhythmias, sustaining high-normal potassium concentration levels lead to improved outcomes in a new randomized controlled investigation of 1,200 people ...

Potassium supplements can help when needed, but may cause high potassium levels, heart rhythm problems, and stomach-related ...

A new study has shown that a lower threshold for potassium supplementation after cardiac surgery saves patient costs and does not create any further risks of atrial fibrillation or other dysrhythmias.

A new study reveals that the predictive power of key inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein, shifts fundamentally ...

The risks for sudden cardiac death from certain QT-prolonging antibiotics increase with steeper serum to dialysate potassium gradients. Treatment with azithromycin or respiratory fluoroquinolones is ...

Potassium chloride is a supplement that can treat low potassium levels or hypokalemia. Possible benefits of potassium chloride include reducing high blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease, ...
